It sure took time for X2 Toys to show us their first Giga Raiden prototype, but it didn’t take long for them to reveal their first color sample, and even with a Nemesis Prime color variant.
The new images surfaced via Weibo user 毯毯魂限定之正义王森森 and X2 Toys Weibo. We have images of the first color prototype of Giga Raiden, a G1 Optimus Prime which is about 5.7”. Ideal for a Classics scaled collection. The colors match the animation style, plus some chromed parts like the smoke stacks and gas tanks.
As a very nice surprise, or an expected option, we have a look at a Nemesis Prime/Scourge/Black Convoy recolor of this mold. You can’t go wrong with an evil Prime, so we are sure many fans would like this recolor of the mold.
You can check out the mirrored images after the break and then let us know your impressions at the 2005 Boards.

I wonder if this figure would work well with the big Titans Return Powermaster Optimus Prime, aka Magnus Prime, aka Super Ginrai…?

Who's the hulking brute in the back?

This guy? Nah you don't want him. He's not an incredibly handsome mech who has great posability and awesome colour finish. Whose chrome is so beautiful it's still shining after being fiddled with hell of a lot. You don't want him.
Don't buy him.
Don't.

Glad you like it! Always good to see another person discover this great little Optimus.

To get dark raiden it's a hard decision needs a lot of thinking

This Optimus is the perfect size to recreate one of my favorite TF scenes.
“Shitpiece, Goldbug organize a strike team immediately! You will stay here and guard the base with Wheelie, Hot Rod.”
Bronybot
He just came in today and I've been playing with him a bit.hes heavy for his size and nice and sturdy!
Bronybot
I never saw that figure but I hope that trailer and rewind get released at some point

Does this work with TR Optimus at all?
Rewind
Perfect description for him and I agree. It feels like a small chogokin figure and he can pull some wild poses. I wish X2 would make more of his caliber.
waffel
He's just brilliant, I've long called him "the best 3P figure nobody bought"
Conran
Still one of my all time favourite figures. It's not a fans toys release or an mmc release I'll take down to fiddle with but this guy. There's a certain charm to him.

That is a fun figure, just underappreciated because CHUG is no longer vogue and Hasbro released a great Siege Optimus Prime. Doesn’t diminish Giga Raiden though.
Rewind
It’s on the same pile of broken dreams as their MTMTE Rewind.
Bronybot
Just ordered giga raiden from tfscource, might get dark raiden if I really like giga (I have a feeling I will lol) any word on the trailer?

OK, here's the trailer, dammit. When can we buy one?
From official weibo:
[X2Toys]
跟大家汇报一下X2TOYS这次在上海刚丝厂年会上的展品。
车厢也要等到明年了。大家先别急,该出的还是会,有拖无欠嘛。[嘻嘻] 而且。赶货不会有质量,即使被骂出货慢了,我们还是要对大家负责。
装甲会藏于车厢内,部分将会拿出来分开销售。这堆东西加一起不会便宜,是分开卖,给大家一个选择。[作揖]
[X2Toys]
Report to everyone on the exhibition of x2toys this time at the annual meeting of the shanghai just factory.
The Compartment is also going to wait for next year. Everyone, don't rush, it's still going to be, there's a drag. [hihi] and. There will be no quality in the rush, even if the delivery is slow, we will still be responsible for everyone.
The Armor will be hidden in the compartment and the part will be taken out separately for sale. This pile of stuff together won't be cheap, it's separate to sell, give everyone a choice. [BOW]
